In October, Baldwin stole the show in his role as Trump when "Saturday Night Live" spoofed the presidential debate.

Baldwin's deal to play Trump for the remainder of the race was announced by NBC just days before "SNL" began its 42nd season last year and a little more than a month before voters choose between real-life Trump and Clinton.

In September, Baldwin and his wife, Hilaria, welcomed their third child together.

Baldwin said baby Leonardo was born at 6:51 p.m. Monday in New York City.

The couple, who wed in 2012, are also parents to a 3-year-old daughter and 15-month-old son. Alec Baldwin also has an adult daughter from his previous marriage to actress Kim Basinger.
